Tyson Fury has come back down from Big Bear. He was training at high altitude, but is now settled at Freddie Roach’s gym in Los Angeles. They certainly came down sooner from Big Bear than they intended, but that’s purely because of the altitude.

Ben Davison knows best, and coming back down to train at sea level is a huge boost after being up so high. Tyson is pleased with the work done up there. He’s looking good, he’s been sparring well. He’s in a brilliant frame of mind and he seems very happy.

The fight is a month away so it’s a good time to start the final stretch of preparation, he’s bang on at the moment. Lawrence Okolie is with team Tyson at the moment, and he’s getting excellent reviews from the boys. He’s given Tyson some really good sparring.

Okolie has those long arms and the punches that can come from nowhere. Tyson feels he’s the closest thing he could get to the unorthodox style of Wilder.

We’re working with everyone to finalise the undercard for December 1 and what the boxing fans can look forward to are some great names from the UK on what should be a memorable night in Los Angeles.

Tyson has done a lot of media and I’m pleased to see him open up and be so genuine. We’re seeing the real Tyson Fury now. When Tyson speaks now, it’s from the heart and we’re seeing a really genuine side. I’ve listened to him speak about how training has helped him come out of the dark place he was in before.

He’s even said he may have to continue training forever, but to be honest that can be almost worrying to hear. Boxing can be like a dependency, the same way drugs or alcohol can be. Tyson enjoys boxing, and I hope he knows there are other roles in boxing when his fighting career ends.

There are so many fighters who find it difficult to adjust in retirement, but Tyson has got a brilliant boxing brain and knowledge, he’s like a historian of boxing. At the end of the career, I hope he’ll find a role in the sport.

He’s articulate and he reads fights well. It’s great he’s got his enthusiasm and flavour for boxing back, but I don’t want him to become a boxing junkie. This fight with Wilder is going to be incredible and one that everyone is looking forward to.

They’re talking about Anthony Joshua rematching Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April. Really? I’m not sure about that. Two of the top three heavyweights are fighting on December 1, the other has booked a slot at Wembley next year and he’s talking about fighting Whyte.

The objective should be for all three to be fighting each other as soon as possible, and anything else is stopping the fans seeing some truly memorable fight nights.

Fury could go toe-to-toe with Wilder

Everyone thinks Wilder is a one-trick pony, but Tyson can’t underestimate him. Wilder is a much better fighter than people give him credit for. It seems like he’s got a good chin, he showed that in the Luis Ortiz fight. I’ve watched lots of his fights very closely. He’s awkward yes, but one thing he’s got is speed. Tyson’s got speed too.

I just feel Tyson might take the fight to him. Everyone’s got in their mind how this fight will be, Wilder’s going to come looking for the big punches and Tyson’s going to be on the back foot and try to outbox him.

But, I feel it could turn into a fight from the beginning. Somebody is going to try and stamp their authority on the fight and Tyson can have a fight with anyone. He can stand his ground, he’s got a good chin himself and let’s not forget he’s 6 ft 9 and unlike anything Wilder has ever come up against!

You would think the sensible thing is for Tyson is to go out there, work behind the jab and take Wilder into the latter rounds. But we never know with Tyson, he’s so unpredictable and that’s why he’s dangerous.

Look at what he did to Dereck Chisora. He did a complete job on Chisora and fought southpaw for a lot of that fight. Eddie Hearn says Tyson is the most boring fighter to watch, but he’s promoting Whyte against Chisora.

Look at what Tyson did to Chisora. He never lost a second of any round. Dereck was coming in off of five good wins and Tyson took him to school. Broke him up, took him apart and Chisora had to pull out eventually. And that was in 2014, Chisora was at the peak of his powers then.

Box office wars

Speaking of Whyte and Chisora, I was incredibly disappointed to see Matchroom announce their rematch on the same night as Josh Warrington vs Carl Frampton on Box Office. It’s ridiculous, it really is.

It’s disrespectful to the fans. Manchester City and Manchester United don’t play at the same time in the Premier League, do they? It’s a stupid situation and I can’t see who wins out of this. You just split an audience, and the boxers will lose out on pay-per-view buys. That’s a major loss for all four boxers involved.

What we have in Warrington v Frampton is a clash between two of the very best in the world at their weight class and that is really becoming our mantra with PPV on BT Sport Box-Office. What we’re not about is putting second tier, inconsequential fights on PPV for the sake of it. It is disrespectful to Josh and Carl and, to a certain extent, Whyte and Chisora, who are being used.

While Whyte-Chisora is a decent fight, Sky customers need to ask what they are getting for their subscriptions if this event is deemed to be PPV. It wasn’t so long ago that Hearn pledged to have a world title fight on regular Sky pretty much every week, but I believe the last male to fight for a world title on a UK show was over a year ago.

Since we announced our deal with BT we have put on 12 world title fights, with half a dozen interims, with big stadium shows including Fury, Frampton and Warrington. All on linear subscription TV.

Bellew needs to upset the odds again

One man who has certainly proven himself is Tony Bellew. He’s done so well for himself. The first fight he had with David Haye was another underdog story. He was a big underdog for me going into that one and he’s an even bigger one for this one.

Oleksandr Usyk is a real quality operator. Usyk wants to go up to heavyweight, no doubt about that. We’ll see what he looks like against Bellew, but he’d be a great addition to the heavyweight scene. Tyson and Usyk would be fascinating down the road. The bookies rightly make Usyk the heavy favourite in what should be a well watched fight this weekend, but Bellew has pulled out punches before and won against the odds.

Mayweather’s short-lived return

Floyd Mayweather’s ‘comeback’ was so off the wall, I still don’t understand it. I don’t think anyone should buy the illusion Mayweather was blindsided. My guess is that he may have had a change of heart – but one thing you have to admire about Mayweather is that he is the greatest self-promoter in sport and knows how to make money.

Perhaps this is all a game for something bigger down the road. The whole thing was bizarre, and as a big fan of Mayweather I’ve no real interest in seeing him in a kickboxing match… although I’m sure people would buy it! It’s such an odd situation to be in, even for him. At a press conference announcing a fight in Japan with a kickboxer? That’s strange even by his standards.
